Not respecting udelay causes problems with any virtual hardware that is passed
through to real hardware. This can be noticed by any device that interacts
with the real world in real time - like AP startup, which takes real time. Or
keyboard LEDs, which should blink in real-time. Or floppy drives, but only
when passed through to a real floppy controller on OSes which can't
sufficiently buffer the floppy commands to emulate a zero latency floppy. Or
IDE drives, when connecting to a physical CDROM.
This was mostly a hack to get the kernel to boot faster, but it introduced a
number of misvirtualization bugs, and Alan and Pavel argued pretty strongly
against it. We were the only client, and now want to clean up this cruft.

Provide a PT map hook for HIGHPTE kernels to designate where they are mapping
page tables. This information is required so the physical address of PTE
updates can be determined; otherwise, the mm layer would have to carry the
physical address all the way to each PTE modification callsite, which is even
more hideous that the macros required to provide the proper hooks.
So lets not mess up arch neutral code to achieve this, but keep the horror in
an #ifdef HIGHPTE in include/asm-i386/pgtable.h. I had to use macros here
because some types are not yet defined in all the include paths for this
header.
This patch is absolutely required for HIGHPTE kernels to operate properly with
VMI.

In order to share the common code in tsc.c which does CPU Khz calibration, we
need to make an accurate value of CPU speed available to the tsc.c code. This
value loses a lot of precision in a VM because of the timing differences with
real hardware, but we need it to be as precise as possible so the guest can
make accurate time calculations with the cycle counters.

The custom_sched_clock hook is broken. The result from sched_clock needs to
be in nanoseconds, not in CPU cycles. The TSC is insufficient for this
purpose, because TSC is poorly defined in a virtual environment, and mostly
represents real world time instead of scheduled process time (which can be
interrupted without notice when a virtual machine is descheduled).
To make the scheduler consistent, we must expose a different nature of time,
that is scheduled time. So deprecate this custom_sched_clock hack and turn it
into a paravirt-op, as it should have been all along. This allows the tsc.c
code which converts cycles to nanoseconds to be shared by all paravirt-ops
backends.
It is unfortunate to add a new paravirt-op, but this is a very distinct
abstraction which is clearly different for all virtual machine
implementations, and it gets rid of an ugly indirect function which I
ashamedly admit I hacked in to try to get this to work earlier, and then even
got in the wrong units.

Currently we do not check for vma flags if sys_move_pages is called to move
individual pages. If sys_migrate_pages is called to move pages then we
check for vm_flags that indicate a non migratable vma but that still
includes VM_LOCKED and we can migrate mlocked pages.
Extract the vma_migratable check from mm/mempolicy.c, fix it and put it
into migrate.h so that is can be used from both locations.

Remove the SMT-nice feature which idles sibling cpus on SMT cpus to
facilitiate nice working properly where cpu power is shared. The idling of
cpus in the presence of runnable tasks is considered too fragile, easy to
break with outside code, and the complexity of managing this system if an
architecture comes along with many logical cores sharing cpu power will be
unworkable.
Remove the associated per_cpu_gain variable in sched_domains used only by
this code.
Also:
The reason is that with dynticks enabled, this code breaks without yet
further tweaks so dynticks brought on the rapid demise of this code. So
either we tweak this code or kill it off entirely. It was Ingo's preference
to kill it off. Either way this needs to happen for 2.6.21 since dynticks
has gone in.

In some cases when we are not using msi we need a way to ensure that the
hardware does not have an msi capability enabled. Currently the code has been
calling disable_msi_mode to try and achieve that. However disable_msi_mode
has several other side effects and is only available when msi support is
compiled in so it isn't really appropriate.
Instead this patch implements pci_msi_off which disables all msi and msix
capabilities unconditionally with no additional side effects.
pci_disable_device was redundantly clearing the bus master enable flag and
clearing the msi enable bit. A device that is not allowed to perform bus
mastering operations cannot generate intx or msi interrupt messages as those
are essentially a special case of dma, and require bus mastering. So the call
in pci_disable_device to disable msi capabilities was redundant.
quirk_pcie_pxh also called disable_msi_mode and is updated to use pci_msi_off.

Allocate a distinct inode for every vcpu in a VM. This has the following
benefits:
- the filp cachelines are no longer bounced when f_count is incremented on
every ioctl()
- the API and internal code are distinctly clearer; for example, on the
KVM_GET_REGS ioctl, there is no need to copy the vcpu number from
userspace and then copy the registers back; the vcpu identity is derived
from the fd used to make the call
Right now the performance benefits are completely theoretical since (a) we
don't support more than one vcpu per VM and (b) virtualization hardware
inefficiencies completely everwhelm any cacheline bouncing effects. But
both of these will change, and we need to prepare the API today.

This avoids having filp->f_op and the corresponding inode->i_fop different,

when I use linux TCP socket, and find there is a bug in function
sk_acceptq_is_full().
When a new SYN comes, TCP module first checks its validation. If valid,
send SYN,ACK to the client and add the sock to the syn hash table. Next
time if received the valid ACK for SYN,ACK from the client. server will
accept this connection and increase the sk->sk_ack_backlog -- which is
done in function tcp_check_req().We check wether acceptq is full in
function tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock().
Consider an example:
After listen(sockfd, 1) system call, sk->sk_max_ack_backlog is set to
1. As we know, sk->sk_ack_backlog is initialized to 0. Assuming accept()
system call is not invoked now.
1. 1st connection comes. invoke sk_acceptq_is_full(). sk-
>sk_ack_backlog=0 sk->sk_max_ack_backlog=1, function return 0 accept
this connection. Increase the sk->sk_ack_backlog
2. 2nd connection comes. invoke sk_acceptq_is_full(). sk-
>sk_ack_backlog=1 sk->sk_max_ack_backlog=1, function return 0 accept
this connection. Increase the sk->sk_ack_backlog
3. 3rd connection comes. invoke sk_acceptq_is_full(). sk-
>sk_ack_backlog=2 sk->sk_max_ack_backlog=1, function return 1. Refuse
this connection.
I think it has bugs. after listen system call. sk->sk_max_ack_backlog=1

This patch provides the following hugetlb-related fixes to the recent stacked
shm files changes:
- Update is_file_hugepages() so it will reconize hugetlb shm segments.
- get_unmapped_area must be called with the nested file struct to handle
the sfd->file->f_ops->get_unmapped_area == NULL case.
- The fsync f_op must be wrapped since it is specified in the hugetlbfs
f_ops.
This is based on proposed fixes from Eric Biederman that were debugged and
tested by me. Without it, attempting to use hugetlb shared memory segments
